America is the GNU of countries. Completely zealous towards nebulous “freedom” and absolutely unrealistic expectations of how it should be employed

“It’s easy to live free! Just build your own cabin on your own land and protect it with your own guns, keep track of your own money (none of those non-free ‘banks’), and grow your own food, and sanitize your own water!”

what if you're not good OR bad, what if you're just a human being and you've done some good stuff and some not-so-good stuff, but on the whole haven't had much of an impact at all?

BIG IF TRUE?

I think a lot of people get caught up in, "am I a good person?" when the real question should be, "am I making things worse or am I making them better?"

which is ofc a scale, too, but generally we have less impact than we think we do and that's okay. realizing that you're not The Literal Worst or The Literal Best helps a lot.

So many people in smash have been accused of sexual assault or pedo shit at this point that they could host their own tournament after being banned from all the ones they used to be in WITH two sexual assault/pedo commentators to commentate. It’s unreal. And there’s no way nintendo is going to touch competitive smash ever again. Nairo was the one person they officially acknowledged as a competitive smash player and that’s gone now. They will never be acknowledged again. Congrats on ruining peoples’ lives AND your shot at ever being taken seriously. Assholes.

Reporting to work on Monday as a civil servant, being asked to confirm my life insurance beneficiaries. Thinking about who would be planning my funeral there is a distinct possibility I will die from COVID19 because of exposure at work that I'll have a Zoom Meeting Funeral 😭😬😱

I don't have words for these words.

It's so powerful.

Yes, the better your fabric or paper mask seals, the more effective it is, but we're talking very small margins. If you want to take the extra time to get that tiny little boost, good on you! But not doing that is not "wearing masks wrong"

Let's reserve "wrong" for people whose masks are not covering both nose and mouth completely, yeah?

The city council of Somerville, MA just voted unanimously to remove the limit of two people in a domestic partnership, effectively providing legal recognition to polyamorous relationships.

yesterday: "man, I wonder how much of the corona relief VAT cut will actually go to consumers. it might not be much."

today: hard discounters frantically putting up "we are passing the full VAT cut to consumers" signs

yeah okay in retrospect we should have expected that. german groceries is cutthroat.
